Expulsion from Majdal (Ashkelon)

The ethnic cleansing of Palestine had two stages. The original expulsion and a secondary one, due to the fact that refugees returned. This document deals with the return of the refugees to the villages around the town of Majdal and in Majdal itself (today the Israeli town Ashkelon).

It is from 25 November 1948 (as we know the final deportation took place in 1950). But when we think about the great March on the fence of the Gaza Ghetto and the demand of return; do remember that this is the next generation of the people expelled from their homeland and promised by the UN to be protected from such war crimes.

“Your role is to expel the Arab refugees from these villages and prevent their return by destroying the villages”.
